Decided to watch some reaction compilations from the big moments of the playoffs, and when one clip showed a young Saints fan (about 13-ish years old? I think) screaming after the Minneapolis Miracle I thought, "You're OK kid, your team won the SB just a couple years ago" Until I realized "a couple years ago" is actually 8, that SB XLIV happened a little more than a month into this decade, that this decade will be over in 1 year 11 months, and that kid was probably 5-ish years old in 2010 and might not even remember that game clearly if at all.

I'm in my early 20s. This is just gonna get more and more common with longer stretches of time for me as time goes on, isn't it?

Nah... soon, you won't even be able to remember what you had for breakfast yesterday.

You've got that right.

I remain stunned that as much time passed from 2008 to 2018 as 1980 to 1990. The later seems sooooooo much longer.

Either Jonathan Martin is really stupid or he's so psychologically damaged from his playing days that he thought that was a good idea. Either way I feel bad for him.

I don’t want to try and clinically diagnose the issue here because I dont have the qualifications to, but this kinda feels like it originates further back than his playing days with the Dolphins. It’s one thing to be thinned skinned/effected by bullying like that, but to still be pushing the issue this many years out? That feels like some sort of possibly undiagnosed mental disorder.
